Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Hearing Dogs For Deaf People will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.

On Sunday 27^th May I shall be running (staggering after 23 miles) around Edinburgh hoping to raise money for a very good cause. 

 The Event is the Edinburgh Marathon (26.2 miles of scenic, hilly fun!)

 I hope to raise as much money as I can for Hearing Dogs for the Deaf.

 Any amounts gratefully received.  If you gift aid it even more money goes to the good cause.

 I am running under my married name (Lavin) but the sponsorship forms are in the name of Schofield (working name).

 Many thanks

 Nikki

 

 

 

 

 

 

  There are all sorts of ways in which you could help us with our work and we would really appreciate your involvement.

 

 

Hearing Dogs receives no government funding and relies solely on the generosity of individuals and organisations in order to keep helping deaf people and unwanted dogs.

  

 

Please help in whatever way you can. Below are a few examples of how your donation could help.

  

 

£5,000 sponsors a hearing dog throughout its working life. In return you will receive a framed colour photograph and information about your sponsored dog.

  

 

£2,500 gives shared sponsorship of a hearing dog. Both sponsors receive a photograph and information about their sponsored dog.

 

 

 

£1,000 sponsors a kennel for a year, supporting accommodation and welfare of at least six dogs occupying that kennel during training and assessment. Kennel sponsorship entitles you to have your name displayed in recognition of your support, and at the end of the year we will send you a list of all the dogs who occupied your kennel.

  

 

Other examples of how your donation helps:

  

 

£1,200 helps towards the cost of assessing, selecting and recruiting dogs from Southern Ireland rescue centres. To meet the increased demand for hearing dogs, our assessors need to travel further afield to find enough suitable candidates from rescue centres to train as hearing dogs

 

 

 

£200 helps toward veterinary care and neutering

 

 

 

£150 buys a puppy socialising kit: as well as a bowl, collar, lead and various toys, we provide each volunteer socialiser with a special den for the puppy to sleep in safely

 

 

 

£50 helps toward kennel enrichment for dogs in training: play castles, activity balls, smoked bones and other interactive toys help to entertain and relax the dogs in kennels when they are not working

 

 

 

£30 helps buy toys and play pens for the puppy crèche such as run-through tunnels and ramps which help our puppies play and socialise together

 

 

 

£15 buys a grooming kit

  

 

£13 buys a heat lamp for a convalescing dog

  

 

£10 helps pay for bedding for dogs in training

  

 

£5 pays for a bottle of shampoo for puppies and dogs in training

  

 

£1 pays for a toothbrush to ensure puppies and dogs in training have healthy teeth and beautiful breath!
